Dear Scott, thank you for the great work! Can you please advise on the following : I created a questionnaire and for one question I have chosen the multiple choice option. However, I wanted the participants to be able to choose more than one answer, if they wished to. How do I do that?

Great video and presented very well. I still have a few questions. I'm high school teacher and I use google classroom. We had some people from google come out to teach us but the lessons were to quick and didn't cover to many fine details. I so not understand why google, with all of their millions of employees can not make tutorials for their own products. I just don't get it. - How come when I remove an item in docs or forms it always seems to come back? - Can I share or copy and paste forms and docs between different accounts without one being effected when the other is edited? - Why does google delete my older classrooms when I'm still trying to use them? How can I prevent this? - How come there is no way to contact anyone at google for help? -How do I fix issue with google classroom grades.... It's like I love this and I hate it at the same time.

Great video as always. I created a form to track my expenses. It has a date, were spent, amount, category to charge-to, etc. I then can take a picture of the receipt and it all gets logged into Sheets which I use for assisting in the preparation of my taxes or see my spending habits. I can also import PDF receipts if I but something on-line. Microsoft has a Form function in Ofice 365, you should compare the two products.

We use the Google suite for everything at work and I have created forms in Google Forms before, but I am getting stuck on how I can create a form that allows me to have recipients choose like 4 options out of 50 offered. I can create the form but after that I'm stuck with directions to allow this option? Thank you in advance for your assistance!
